Russia

Russia, the world's largest country by area, offers visitors a completely different kind of tourism experience, where Tsarist royalty blends with Soviet modernity in a rich and inexhaustible civilizational tapestry. Moscow leads the list of attractions with its famous Red Square surrounding the legendary Kremlin and Saint Basil's Cathedral with its spiraling colorful towers, unlike any other structure in existence. Saint Petersburg transforms into the capital of cultural dreams with its lavish European architectural palaces and the Hermitage Museum, one of the largest and most prestigious art museums in the world. Russia's depth extends to include the mystical Lake Baikal, the deepest lake on Earth, the Ural Mountains separating two continents, and the vast Siberian tundra.
